I’d like to know if there is a way to create a screenshot of a video (I have created a material that has an video clip feeding in the emissive slot). Now I have set up that material to an asset that is a screen (a simple plane). Is it possible to make a screenshot of just that material at a certain time (what I’m wanting is just as you’d watch a movie on a PC and you press print screen at a certain time of the movie). And then, that screenshot would be saved on the hard drive.
With the High Resolution Screenshot Tool you could set an area to take a screenshot of and even set it to export as an exr, howeven ingame so far the only way to take screenshots was via the “Execute console command” node and the command “HighResShot 1920x1080”. However, this will only take a shot of the entire screen visible ingame and not a specific area as you could with the tool.
An idea which just came to my mind: Maybe you could set up a camera infrot of the projection screen on whicih the video is playing to capture exactly the content of said screen and have the game switch to the camera for a frame, take a screenshot and then move back to the original camera or something like that. Rather unorthodox but might work.
